WITCHESS

WITCHESS (Womxn Implement The Creation of Harmonious Ecosystems of Selfless Species) is a new interdisciplinary project which combines literature, dance and music. It was born from the collaboration with guitarist Silvia Cignoli, singer Andrea Silvia Giordano and dancer Clotilde Cappelletti. Starting from some contemporary feminist works (by writers such as Angela Davis, Silvia Federici, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie,…), the quartet builds a performance with the aim of re-imagining a reality without patriarchy and predefined gender roles. Some of the themes tackled in WITCHESS’ compositions are witch-hunting, racial segregation, capitalism conceived as an obstacle to the survival of ethnic and gender minorities, the integration of lgbt+ communities,… Thanks to some artistic residencies supported by nusica.org, OperaEstate and WeStart Cpm, the group has been able to synergize different artistic forms (literature, movement, and electroacoustic and electronic sounds) into a harmonious output that brings the listener into a free creative space with no aesthetic boundaries.

GOGODUCKS

GOGODUCKS is an experimental jazz trio composed by drummer Francesca Remigi, guitar player Luca Zennaro and vibraphone player Paolo Peruzzi. Together they present a contemporary and innovative repertoire of original music which looks for liquid and free approaches to music research. In an artistic journey that began in 2021, GOGODUCKS pursues the search for total artistic honesty through the mingling of three different identities but with equal dose of leadership. The musical result takes the form of a mixture of different aesthetic outcomes, but it also strives to broaden the sonic palette of what a seemingly limited bass-less trio can achieve.
GOGODUCKS have performed at internationally renowned festivals such as Umbria Jazz 2022, the Ponte in Jazz 2022 festival, the Bari Jazz Festival 2023, Vicenza Jazz 2025, Fano Jazz Network 2025, Firenze Jazz Festival 2025, Novara Jazz 2025, and in other venues such as the Villa Lazzarino, Caffè Borsa, UnTubo, Torrione, BIKO Milano… Thanks to SIAE Per Chi Crea grant, the band releases its first album Palladio a Palla! on September 6, 2024, in collaboration with audiovisual artist Sergio Zacco.

ARCHIPÉLAGOS

Archipélagos is a jazz progressive band born in Bruxelles in May 2019, led by the drummer Francesca Remigi, finalist at the Maastricht jazz Awards 2020. Her music is inspired by some socio-political concepts theorized by thinkers such as Noam Chomsky, Zygmunt Bauman, Roberto Saviano, Samuel Huntington and William McNeill, with the aim of expressing some of the key notions of their thinking through music, such as the liquidity of social relationships, the decadence of the concept of “society” as perceived nowadays, the decay of the capitalist free market economy, the evolution of the armed forces’ organization, the development of an almighty and unbridled individualism…
